MORE ABOUT CONTANGO :
Contango is the synergy of two dance forms, the flow and movement of Contact Improvisation through many levels and directions, blending with the structure of Tango, unfolding in the poetry of shared walking, of the embrace and play with music.
Both dances share aspects of improvisation in connection and togetherness. Our workshops offer time to dive into the depth of sensing the shared axis in Tango, to find a delicate connection, and to explore playfully within Tango.
We’ll let this flow into Contact Improvisation and explore from a light into a very deep connection, through skin, fascia, muscle and bone, towards small lifts and leans. We will grow, from simplicity into playfulness, and explore topics like spirals, momentum, empty space, following and leading, dynamics, sharing, taking and giving weight, stability and letting go, in both Tango and Contact Improvisation.
GABY KOCH lives in Wuppertal, Germany. She has been dancing and teaching dance for 25 years, and she organises the international Festival of Contact and Tango in Wuppertal and Beichlingen, dedicated to a lively exchange and research in the realm of Contango. Gaby is also a somatic movement practitioner, her interest is connection within our body, discovering new pathways, breaking patterns, and finding subtlety and freedom in dance.
